What is arrhythmia?
Arrhythmia is a condition where the heart beats too quickly, too slowly or irregularly that affects approximately two million people in the UK. Symptoms of arrhythmia differ from person to person, but many people successfully manage the condition through medication or ongoing care.
With the right preparation, medical guidance and suitable travel insurance, many people who manage arrhythmia with medication or supervision continue to travel abroad with confidence.
What travel insurance can cover if you have arrhythmia:
- Emergency medical treatment abroad if your condition causes complications
- Hospital treatment and medical expenses during your trip
- Repatriation to the UK if you need to return home for further care
- Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
Travel advice for people with a heart condition like arrhythmia
- Only travel when your arrhythmia is stable and you feel well enough to go
- Keep any heart medication with you in your hand luggage
- Build extra rest into your journey and avoid excessive exertion
- Look up medical facilities at your destination before you go, in case your arrhythmia needs attention
When completing the medical declaration, it's important to read the questions carefully, and declare this type of condition if required.
Many people with arrhythmia can still get travel insurance with us. Cover depends on how severe the condition is and how it is being managed, so take care to answer the medical declaration questions honestly and accurately.
